I strive to support my clients in whatever manner feels most needed. This may include any combination of…

Emotional support: listening, calming, being there for you during difficult moments.

Informational support: providing education around birth, postpartum, infant care, and fitness as well as connecting you with parenting resources and referrals.

Physical support: providing hands-on coping strategies during labor as well as personalized movement plans to support your physical wellness goals.

Tangible support: assisting with light chores, childcare, medical visits, etc. so you can focus on yourself and your family.

Affirmational support: making you feel seen, validated, and valued (because you are!).

Belonging support: reminding you that you are not alone, even when things feel isolating.

I love Pilates and find it to be an incredible tool for many people looking to reach a variety of health and wellness goals. However, traditional Pilates is not always the best fit for pregnant and postpartum individuals (for example, intense ab work is not great when your abs are all stretched out!). I use what I have learned over the past decade teaching Pilates and studying other movement modalities to provide exercises or workouts that are not only safe for the stage you are in, but also tailored to your specific complaints, goals, habitual posture, etc. It is based on the principles of Pilates and adapted to your body!

Every body and every situation is different. I often help clients manage and even reverse these common postpartum issues. However I am not a physical therapist and thus my scope of practice with certain pelvic issues is limited. If needed, I can refer you to a reputable pelvic health physical therapist. Working as a team we can take your healing to the next level.

While I do not offer equipment Pilates through Balanced Beginnings, you can book equipment sessions with me at Beyond Pilates in Boone, NC.

Yes! I strive to be inclusive and affirming for every birthing person and their family.

Yes! As long as there is a certified homebirth midwife there as well. I am not a medical professional and cannot actually deliver your baby.

If I am your labor doula, I will do everything in my power to be there on your big day. If for some unexpected reason (e.g. illness, family emergency) I am unable to be there, I can provide you with a backup doula.
